Buying a high-quality memory foam or hybrid mattress is easier than ever when you order a mattress-in-a-box. No longer do you need to drag yourself to a mattress showroom (unless you want to–in that case, we'd love to see you at our showroom in Plantation, Florida!), rent a truck, or welcome delivery people into your home.

Bed-in-a-box memory foam or hybrid mattresses are simple to order, quickly shipped and super easy to unbox and set up. Read on to learn why this is your absolute best bet when it comes to quality, convenience and simplicity.

Reason #2: Fast Shipping

Waiting 2-3 months for a new mattress? Nobody has time for that. Most memory foam mattresses-in-a-box orders are shipped from factory to doorstep via FedEx or UPS.

Plus, here at GhostBed, our mattresses are manufactured and shipped out from right here in the USA–which makes delivery times even faster. There is no need to arrange for someone to be home to receive the package as your box will be dropped off at your door, ready for you to open and enjoy whenever is convenient for you.

Reason #3: Easy Moving

Memory foam and hybrid memory foam mattresses are perfect for shipping because they can be easily folded and vacuum-sealed. Don't worry; this process won't affect the intended shape of your mattress. Once you open it up, it'll bounce right back into its original shape

This shipping process results in a simple-to-manage parcel that fits neatly packed into a box around 23-inches by 20-inches and 39-inches high. Pretty awesome, right?

Now you can easily move the mattress into your home and even place a larger bed in spaces that may have once been off the table due to architectural elements like narrow staircases or tight corridors.

Reason #4: Simple Setup

Receiving a package is exciting! Everyone loves coming home to a little treat on their porch after a hard day at work or school. Now imagine that package contains your brand new bed— even better! The best part of a mattress-in-a-box, aside from the excitement, is the easy setup.

Here's how it'll go:

  1. Before unpacking, move the box to the desired room that is to be home to your new memory foam mattress.
  2. Open the top of the box, and you will see your mattress neatly folded and sealed in its plastic wrapping.
  3. Pull the sealed mattress out of the box to ready it to be opened.
  4. Carefully cut the plastic compressing the bed. As the wrapping falls away, the mattress will instantly open as if it were coming alive.
  5. Finally, place the mattress on your foundation or adjustable base and prepare to enjoy your showroom-quality memory foam or hybrid bed.

Keep in mind that your mattress may feel firm at first. But worry not, your bed will adjust to your body as you sleep on it, and soon, any preexisting aches and pains will melt away. With most bed-in-a-box mattresses, you'll often receive a free trial period to get a feel for it. The 101-Night Sleep Trial that we offer here at GhostBed allows for plenty of time to thoroughly test and try out your new memory foam mattress—making the whole process utterly worry-free from the start.

With straightforward ordering, fast shipping, easy setup and an extended trial period, there should be nothing stopping you from taking the plunge and trying a memory foam mattress-in-a-box today.
